Has anyone used the products from NextUp? There is textAloud, WeatherAloud, NewsAloud, and more. Are these for people without a screen reader?

Great offering of voices!

I use text aloud. It works fine with a screen reader and can convert files into mp3 audio using the sapi voices. it also handles pdf files well. worth the purchase price.

I haven't used any of these products. I should try them out though. I don't see a purpose for TextAloud, aside from MP3ing your books etc from text files.

It's a company that makes the above listed products.

and what are those products? What are these products for? I know these questions sound dumb, but I have never heard of this company or its products.
